Question

4. Jonathan takes his dog to be groomed. The fee to groom the dog is $80 plus 6.75% tax.

Jonathan also wants to tip 15% of the total with tax. Is $95 enough to pay for the service?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tax charge

80 × 6.75/100 = 5.4

Cost + tax charge

80 + 5.4 = 85.4

Tip (15% of cost and tax)

85.4 × 15/100 = 12.81

(Cost + tax charge + tip)

85.40 + 12.81 = 98.21

therefore, $95 is not enough.
